Original word in Ayurveda are available in Sanskrit, the language of science and knowledge in ancient India. An attempt is made in the book to explore the concepts of tissue regeneration with special reference to wound healing in Ayurveda.

The Book highlights reference to cell, stem cell, tissue, surgical procedures, healing methods and regenerative concepts in varied Ayurvedic and non-medical Sanskrit literature spanning almost 5000 years from the Vedic period to contemporary times. The concepts and therapies associated with tissue repair, regeneration, remodeling and healing are revisited here.

A conceptual framework for regeneration of tissues from Ayurvedic perspectives is constructed over the panchmahabhut siddhanta based on the motto of dhatusamyata that Ayurveda strives to achieve. As wounds present a potential condition for regeneration and/or repair of tissues a theoretical framework for wound healing from Susrta’s Sashti upakramas on the line of time framework is conceptualised. The strengths of Ayurveda with regard to its potential contribution to the science of regenerative medicine are focused for their clinical applications.
